Der Glover. 

[IndianaTwin]

Gold Glove catchers are supposed to be backing up the throw, Salvador.

[Aggies7]

Dozier, yuck

[VATwinsFan]

Bad.

[Aggies7]

I already used up my “sigh” for the night!

[jimmer]

I love how Richard always finds a way for his color commentator to relive his glory days in every single game.

[Aggies7]

Danny Duffy is the twins daddy

[jimmer]

Great pitch. Gotta be swinging at that Max.

[jimmer]

That was almost an impossible play for a third baseman? Really?

[USAFChief]

Maybe think about not getting down 2 strikes every ******* AB, Mauer.

[jimmer]

Come on Joe! You CAN'T watch that!

[Nine of twelve]

Why does Molitor have two right handers warming? 

[Aggies7]

What a pitiful performance to start the not-really-second half.

What a pitiful performance to start the not-really-second half.

...so far.

[jimmer]

you're killing me guys

[Aggies7]

...so far.

Are you suggesting a rally?

[jtkoupal]

Can Danny Duffy go to the National League, please?

 

The Twins can never touch him and it infuriates the *!?# out of me!!!

team OPS is .699 vs LHP in general.

 

 

[Danchat]

Yikes. Busenitz isn't looking very good.

[Aggies7]

Soooo we still selling, right?

[Danchat]

Nah, let's wait 10 more days to confirm what we already know.

 

I'm confident the Twins FO is selling and has been for a couple weeks and we'll see them move some guys when we get close to the deadline. Teams like to wait until they're right up at the deadline on the 31st, and I'll bet at least one Twin will be traded that day.

Something about this team getting 4 days off that zaps it’s momentum

[IndianaTwin]

 

Going to the Cubs game this afternoon. No, I most definitely am not becoming a Cubs fan ... free tickets, are free tickets! And they're playing the Cardinals, so should be a fun baseball game to be at. It's a pretty heated rivalry.

 

Maybe I'll watch the Twins game tonight if I can stand two games in one day!

 

As a friend of mine says, "'Free' is my favorite flavor."

ftfy.

Yikes. Busenitz isn't looking very good.

Y'know the old saying "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"

 

Busenitz always seems to me the opposite.  The whole is less than the sum of its parts.  

 

 

[IndianaTwin]

 

Keep in mind who's doing the play-by-play. I am absolutely sure Dick Bremer is a great guy, but if you look up "homer" in the dictionary you see his picture.

 

Is the 2019 edition out? 'Cause Hawk Harrelson still has a few games left before he (mercifully) retires.

[h2oface]

Good thing the boys got their rest. How exciting is it that Wilson and Grossman gets starts to start the post all-star half of the season. And now Mottor is recalled, and we get a Belisle outing. Tell me again how things have changed?

[tvagle]

 

ftfy.

 

Thanks Chief...You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have

The facts of life, the facts of life as a Twin's fan

Belisle v Gordon. An epic AL Central epic matchup.
